Gabrielle Douglas, daughter of a black U.S. military man, wins two gold medals, yet Barack Obama, who told us Trayvon Martin could have been his son, had no praise for her. Think Obama has less respect for our soldiers than he does hoodlums?

He's always been more comfortable and supportive of thugs, criminals, radicals and illegals. But that is probably because he is one.

Even for you, this is a crazed rant.

Americans have 37 medals so far . Should Obama just call the black ones with a military father?

What the hell is your point?

"On July 17th, the Obama for America Campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and the Ohio Democratic Party filed suit in OH to strike down part of that state's law governing voting by members of the military. Their suit said that part of the law is "arbitrary" with "no discernible rational basis."
Currently, Ohio allows the public to vote early in-person up until the Friday before the election. Members of the military are given three extra days to do so. While the Democrats may see this as "arbitrary" and having "no discernible rational basis," I think it is entirely reasonable given the demands on servicemen and women's time and their obligations to their sworn duty.

You have got to be more focused. Gabby did great. O-Butthead will call her and make a fuss because he cannot let a publicity event like this pass. He will for sure have the ladies to the White House and make it a big photo op and media event. Obutthead will suck up and find a way to take credit for their years of hard work and dedication.

At 16, she falls a little short. I think that Virginia Beach is little tighter than Chicago on voter registration.

Because educated Soldiers see through his lies and deceit, hoodlums don't care what he says or does as long as the checks keep rolling in; that and the possibility of joining his 'Brown Shirts' and giving it back to whitey during the race wars.

Obama doesn't know

the meaning of the word, 'respect' ~

He just randomly flaps his lips to get more votes...

I'm not impressed by the fact that he called several Olympians ;p

Michael Phelps kinda blew right past that comment tonite, after his last win,

while he was being interviewed, and I kinda smirked about that, in pride toward him !

Gabby IS Gold, and SHE KNOWS IT, and doesn't need Obama's 'smack' of approval ;0 )

You are obsessed with your hate ... don't you ever get tired of being so negative and dwelling on something that makes you so crazy? i'd bet that you need a vacation, a change of scene, some romance in your life, some exercise ... read a book about something besides politics or Obama ... learn something NEW for you and expand your mind ... you're becoming a "dull boy", as in "all work and no play makes Paladin a dull boy". seriously, all this obsession with Obama is getting pretty damned boring for your friends at Soda Head. Mix it up some, dude, and you'll live a lot longer. Seriously.

Was logic too difficult for you to grasp?

Unlike my references to Obama's HOODLUM pals [note the subject matter of the topic question itself], there is no logical connection between the topic question and either Smith or Young.

Obviously, it's too much for you to grasp. And yeah, Smith and Young, leaders of Mitt's religion with questionable tactics. You brought up Trayvon and compared Obama's statement about him to something that does not logically connect (Gabby's performance at the Olympics).

Why doesn't the media plaster this picture of Trayvon all over instead of a 4 year old picture of him as a young teen? At the time of his death he stood almost 6'2" tall, weighed 175 pounds. He had been stopped and almost arrested two days before his death for smacking a bus driver in the face because the driver refused to let him ride for free.
"little Trayvon" was suspended at school, because he was in possession of a large screwdriver, wedding rings and other jewelry that he said he "found" while on the way to school that day.

Because that's not Travon Martin. Obviously that is a man, not a 17-year old teenager. Martin was 5'9" and weighed about 160. Stop lying and making things up. Check your facts.

No he wasn't. Martin was 6 feet tall and 160 lbs. Obviously facts are relevant to whatever axe you're grinding at the moment:
